    Ramzy was a amazing guide. He was very knowledgeable and coordinated the trip allowing us to really enjoy the different activities and visits. The went above and beyond to teach us the history and culture of the temples and sites.

    I strongly recommend Ramzy as your guide in the future.

    Nice cruise, good food. Belly dance was less than expected, but our best girl Jessy (tour guide) made up for that. Hard to catch the show and the surrounding of the moving ship.

    Throughout my visit, I was guided by Nour and driven by Desokey. Both were incredibly hospitable and knowledgable about Egyptian history and culture and treated me to traditional meals, snacks, and experiences. Nour was clearly an expert on all of the landmarks we visited, giving detailed explanations on each location's past and identity, also taking great pictures along the way. Desokey was the best driver one could ask for, navigating the hectic Egyptian traffic with ease and explaining landmarks we would drive by as well. Overall a very enjoyable experience and I highly recommend for anyone with an extended layover in this beautiful city.

    Here Egypt Tours

    We booked 3 nights 4 days tour by ‘Here Egypt Tours’ through Viator when our earlier tour operator ‘Mody Egypt Tours’ cancelled our booking on the last minute! Although it was not our first choice, I have to say, we had one of the best holidays with ‘Here Egypt Tours’!

    Ms Mona Rahim was on point on organising, always keeping in touch to see if our tour was going on fine.
    Our tour guide Mr Ahmed El Mahdy was very knowledgeable and guided us extremely well throughout the tour. He was very amicable and funny at times. Highly recommend him for any tours.
    We were picked up by the tour operator from Luxor Airport on time and were transferred to our Cruise. Our cruise ship was called ‘Semiramis’. It was a good ship with clean rooms and good facilities. The rooms were clean and included a safe, mini fridge, hair dryer, towels, bath sheets for swimming, tea- coffee making facilities etc. They did not have an iron though. All meals were included and the meals had a great selection including vegetarian dishes but you pay for the drinks separately - even water.
    The cruise provides afternoon teas on top deck with a selection of cakes and biscuits etc .
    The cruise also includes a souvenir shop, swimming pool, open gym, pool table and a massage room.
    The tour is fully packed and there are some really early tidings for the Balloon Ride and Abu Simbel trip. But everything is managed smoothly!

    For a comfortable and enjoyable no fuss holiday, I highly recommend ’Here Egypt Tours’!

    Some tips for a comfortable stay:
    - Egypt’s economy relies a lot on tourism so be ready to tip everyone whose services you use. It is rude not to tip. This is what I figured during my stay~
    Taxi Drivers- US $ 3.00-5.00
    Horse and Carriage - US $ 2.00-3.00
    Guide (At the end of Tour)- from US $ 30.00- 40.00 ( Depending on number of days and number of people in the group-we were a family of four)
    Cruise Staff (At the end of stay)- from US $30.00-40.00

    - When shopping for souvenirs always quote 10 times less the price. I liked a dress which was quoted at 1200 LE and bought at 200 LE. I think I could have gone much lower. So get your bargaining and haggling skills on and don’t relent.

    -Always be polite. Egyptian people are immensely polite and courteous. Don’t forget to smile at them and show courtesy by wishing them Good Mornings or thanking them (Shukran in Arabic).

    -US dollars is the most valued currency but if you wish to change money there are ATM’s that charge the same exchange rate any where you go.

    The staff member, Mona, was very responsive and gave us advice before we left for Egypt, and kept in touch with us during the trip. We felt very at ease.

    The guides I met in each part of Egypt were all very kind and nice people. In particular, our guide for the 3-day Nile cruise, Mr. Amamed, was very fun and knowledgeable.By participating in VIATOR, I was able to meet people from various countries and have a wonderful experience.

    We booked through Viator who referred us to Here Egypt where we were in touch with Mona, she immediately contacted us through WhatsApp which made it really easy to keep in contact. She answered our questions and enquiries straight away.
    We had quite a complex trip and requested a few changes to which she responded quickly and efficiently. She made the whole booking process stress free. Throughout our trip, if we had any questions, she was there.
    All the transfers were smooth and Mona checked in with us before each.
    In Cairo, Mohomad took care of us, alongside Farouk who was a very good guide. Rahim was an amazing driver also, so accommodating to our requests.
    We weren’t keen on the sleeper train, on hindsight perhaps we should have requested a flight to Aswan and from Luxor.
    For the cruise we were looked after by the amazing Mohamed Shakour, who was so much more than a tour guide! He was so knowledgeable . We decided on a change of plan and he was there, instantly organising it. Once again, no need for us to worry.
    The whole team worked together to give us a seamless trip. We were so impressed by the professionalism and efficiency shown by them
    I would not hesitate to recommend Here Egypt for and friends wanting to visit.

    As soon as I hopped on the back of the camel, I was immediately struck by a sense of tranquility and calmness. The rhythmic swaying of the camel as it walked through the desert was unlike anything I had ever experienced before. It felt like a completely different world, away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

    Such fun to spend 2 nights tacking down the Nile on this wind powered boat. Comfortable and a different experience.

    It was just nice , relaxing and not an expensive way to enjoy a slow short trip on the Nile. The water fountain was a nice addition; the kids loved it.

    We booked the Nile cruise and it was great. There was misunderstanding with the booking but it was quickly rectified. Our driver Mohammed was great and very nice. Our hotel was very far but he got us from our hotel and back safely. Cruise was good, didn't get to watch the water as we sailed by the time we were done with dinner but still enjoyed the views. All and all great experience 👍🏽
